Freesky Swift Horse Ultra X-6E

Freesky Swift Horse Ultra X-6E: 4,000W Peak, 1,680 Wh, Full Suspension

The Freesky Swift Horse Ultra X-6E is a full-suspension fat-tire e-bike built around a single Bafang hub motor that Freesky rates at 4,000W peak and 150 N·m, a 48V 35Ah LG-cell battery (1,680 Wh, our arithmetic) and 26 × 4″ tires, with a 120 mm oil-sprung fork, a 150 mm air rear shock and a 400 lb load rating. At 83 lb it is the lightest bike in the comparison further down, by at least 22 lb. We sell it as an off-road machine; the legal note explains why.

This listing’s web address still says “pro” because it used to sell the earlier Swift Horse Pro. Freesky’s own Canadian store now opens its Swift Horse Pro address on the Ultra, and the Ultra is the bike we sell here. If you came looking for the Pro, the Pro vs Ultra table shows what changed.

Swift Horse Pro vs Ultra: What Changed

Searches still mix the two, so here they are side by side, each column from Freesky’s own Canadian page: the Pro as the Internet Archive saved it on 14 August 2025 →, the Ultra as we read it on 20 October 2026.

The same on both: 83 lb, 26 × 4″ tires, 180 mm 4-piston hydraulic brakes, a Shimano 7-speed derailleur with a KMC chain, an upgraded 6061 aluminium frame, a 30.9 × 300 mm seat post and the same frame measurements (78″ long, 48.5″ wheelbase, 33.9″–40.5″ seat height). Freesky’s manual and its UL 2849 certificate are both titled for the X-6E, and the manual’s cover still says “Swift Horse Pro X-6E”. The speeds above are the spec tables’; the FAQ on Freesky’s Ultra page says all its e-bikes are “limited to a maximum speed of 32 km/h (20 mph) by default”.

Read the motor row carefully. The Pro’s “1000W” carries no rated or peak label and the Ultra’s 4,000W is a peak figure, so they are not the same measure and this page does not treat one as four times the other. What the two pages do say on the same terms: 20 N·m more torque, 5 Ah more battery and a 100 lb higher load rating on the Ultra.

Where the Swift Horse Ultra Stands Apart

All three bikes it is compared with below use two motors. The Swift Horse Ultra does it with one, and that single decision explains most of what follows in the comparison table:

• Weight. At 83 lb it is the lightest of the four bikes compared: Tesway prints 48 kg and 53 kg (about 106 and 117 lb) for the X9 Ultra, 119 lb for the X7 AWD, and Smartravel 123.7 lb for the Raptor ST202 Pro. That matters every time you lift it onto a hitch rack or into a truck bed.
• Suspension. It is the only one of the four whose maker lists an air rear shock (150 mm, behind a 120 mm oil-sprung fork). Both Tesways list spring rear suspension; Smartravel lists a hydraulic front fork and a “Hydraulic Shock Absorber” without saying where it sits.
• Capacity. Freesky’s 400 lb load rating ties the X7 AWD for the highest here.
• Certificates you can read. Freesky links two TÜV SÜD certificates from its page: UL 2849 for the X-6E’s electrical system and UL 2271 for its 35Ah battery, each tested to the Canadian edition of the standard as well (CAN/UL 2849:2022, CAN/UL 2271:2018).

The price of one motor shows up too: the least torque in the group (150 N·m, level with the Raptor’s headline figure) and the smallest battery (1,680 Wh). The honest take below spells those out.

Key Features

• 4,000W-peak Bafang hub, 150 N·m — Freesky’s figures for a single brushless Bafang motor, with 38 mph (about 61 km/h) listed “in both throttle and pedal-assist modes”; the FAQ on the same page says Freesky e-bikes ship limited to 32 km/h by default. One motor keeps the drivetrain simple and the bike lighter than the dual-motor alternatives; it also means one driven wheel on loose snow or sand.
• 48V 35Ah LG-cell battery, 1,680 Wh — Freesky gives 87–140 miles on pedal assist. The UL 2271 certificate it links covers battery model FP4835R0 at 47.19 V and 35Ah, tested to UL 2271:2018 and CAN/UL 2271:2018 by TÜV SÜD America (17 March 2025).
• 120 mm oil-sprung fork + 150 mm air rear shock — Full suspension front and rear. On rutted trails, gravel roads and field edges, the rear shock takes the hits a fork alone would pass straight to the rider.
• 180 mm 4-piston hydraulic brakes, front and rear — Four-piston calipers on both wheels, the kind of brakes a bike this fast should carry. Freesky’s manual adds a plain instruction worth repeating: use both brakes.
• 26 × 4″ fat tires, 16–20 PSI — Freesky’s manual recommends 16–20 PSI for the stock tires, which run inner tubes. Lower pressure within that range adds grip and costs some rolling speed.
• Shimano 7-speed, KMC chain, thumb throttle, 0–5 pedal assist — A colour LCD shows the pedal-assist level, headlight status, speed, battery and mileage, per Freesky.
• 800-lumen LED headlight and handlebar turn signals — Freesky’s page lists the 800-lumen headlight and a “Steering Light”: an advanced turn signal system integrated into the handlebars, worked with a button press.
• Rear rack and front and rear mudguards in the box — Both come with the bike, per Freesky’s list of what you receive.

Everything Included

• Swift Horse Ultra X-6E e-bike
• Rear rack
• Front and rear mudguards
• E-bike manual (Freesky’s list); the manual’s own box list adds a charger and two keys
• Freesky’s free Cycling Package (4-Piece Kit) while Freesky runs it: see the box at the top of this page

Final assembly is required. Freesky’s manual asks you to assemble the bike as its assembly video shows, check that every component is fastened, and have a certified mechanic inspect the assembly before the first ride.

Before You Ride: What Freesky’s Manual Says

• Temperature. The manual’s safety instructions say: “This equipment is not intended to be used and stored at ambient temperatures less than 0°C (32°F) or above ambient temperatures of 40°C (104°F).” The battery is charged between 0 °C and 40 °C, and Freesky asks you to charge and store bike and battery in a dry place between 10 °C and 25 °C.
• Age. “Riders must be at least 18 years old.”
• Water. Freesky’s spec table lists the battery as IPX7; the UL 2271 certificate it links gives the pack an “IP Code Rating: IP33”, and the UL 2849 certificate rates the e-bike IP34. The ratings are not the same claim, so we plan around the lower ones: ride through rain and puddles, never submerge the battery, and do not pressure-wash the bike.
• Tires. 16–20 PSI on the stock tires.

The Honest Take — What We’d Change

1. One motor, one driven wheel. 150 N·m is real pulling power, but the Tesway X9 Ultra (240 N·m from two motors) and X7 AWD (about 200 N·m) drive both wheels. On sand, mud or loose snow, a bike that drives both wheels still has a second wheel pulling when one spins.
2. A cadence sensor. Freesky lists a cadence sensor: the assist responds to the pedals turning, not to how hard you push. Riders who want assist that rises and falls with pedal pressure should look for a torque sensor.
3. The 0 °C line. A fat-tire bike sold in Canada will be asked about winter, and the safety instructions in Freesky’s own manual say this equipment is not intended to be used or stored below 0 °C. We print that line rather than promise winter performance the maker does not.

None of the three is hidden: they are the trade-offs of a single-motor design built light. For a rider who wants full suspension, a big single battery and the lightest bike in this class, the Swift Horse Ultra is the one to beat.

Freesky’s geometry table for the Ultra, in inches. It prints the standover height two ways (21″ in one copy of the table, 28″ in two), so both are here; if your inseam is near either line, call us and we will measure it with you.

Who Is the Swift Horse Ultra For?

• Hunters and back-country riders on private land — fat tires, a rear rack in the box and a 400 lb rating for rider plus gear. It is one of the picks in our hunting e-bike guide →
• Tall riders — Freesky’s range runs from 5′3″ to 6′8″ (27″–35″ inseam).
• Riders who lift their bike — at 83 lb it is the lightest bike in our comparison, which counts on a hitch rack.
• Riders who want one big pack — a single 35Ah battery instead of two. Our battery guide → covers charging and storage.

Who it’s not for: anyone who needs a bike for public roads, bike lanes or multi-use paths (see the 500 W collection →); riders who need all-wheel drive for deep snow or sand (the Tesway X9 Ultra → or Tesway X7 AWD →); riders who plan to ride below 0 °C (Freesky’s manual line; our winter guide → covers the bikes and the batteries); and riders under 18, by Freesky’s own manual.

Peak figures are the makers’ own and are not measured the same way across brands. Three of the four are rated over 500 W by their makers; Freesky prints no rated output for the Swift Horse Ultra, so it cannot be shown to meet that line. All four are sold as off-road machines (see the legal note).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Freesky Swift Horse Ultra street-legal in Canada?

We sell it as an off-road machine. Canada’s federal e-bike definition was repealed in 2021, and the rules are now provincial: they converge on a motor of 500 W or less, assistance that stops at 32 km/h (Nova Scotia’s 30 km/h ended on 19 October 2026) and working pedals. Provinces also set their own ages, helmet rules and throttle rules. Freesky prints no rated output for the Swift Horse Ultra, only a 4,000W peak, so it cannot be shown to meet the 500 W line. Its spec table lists 38 mph (about 61 km/h) by pedal assist and throttle, while the FAQ on the same page says all Freesky e-bikes are “limited to a maximum speed of 32 km/h (20 mph) by default”. Ride it on private land and trails that permit it, and check your province’s rules before any public-road use. Our Canadian e-bike law guide →

What is the difference between the Swift Horse Pro and the Swift Horse Ultra?

On Freesky’s own Canadian pages, the Ultra moves from the Pro’s 48V 30Ah Samsung battery (1,440 Wh) to a 48V 35Ah LG battery (1,680 Wh), from 130 to 150 N·m of torque, from a 300 lb to a 400 lb load rating, and, in the spec tables, from 20 mph on the throttle to 38 mph on the throttle and pedal assist. The Pro’s page printed “1000W”; the Ultra’s prints “4000W Peak”, which is a different measure. Weight (83 lb), tires, brakes and frame measurements are the same. The full Pro vs Ultra table →

How much does the Swift Horse Ultra weigh, and how much can it carry?

Freesky lists 83 lb (about 37.6 kg) and a 400 lb load capacity. That makes it the lightest of the four bikes in our comparison: the dual-motor alternatives run from about 106 lb to 123.7 lb by their makers’ figures. See the comparison →

What battery does the Swift Horse Ultra use, and how far does it go?

A 48V 35Ah battery with LG cells, about 1,680 Wh. Freesky gives 87–140 miles on pedal assist. Our rule of thumb for planning a day is watt-hours ÷ 30 on a hard day and ÷ 15 on a good one, about 56 to 112 km here; throttle use, cold, load and hills all move it. The battery’s UL 2271 certificate names model FP4835R0, 35Ah. Our e-bike battery guide →

Where can I find the Freesky Swift Horse manual?

Freesky links its X-6E manual from the Swift Horse Ultra page, and we link the same PDF here. Its cover still reads “Swift Horse Pro X-6E”. The lines to read first: no use or storage below 0 °C or above 40 °C, charge between 0 °C and 40 °C, 16–20 PSI in the stock tires, and riders 18 and over. Its warranty chapter is Freesky’s US text; the Canadian terms are in the warranty answer below. Freesky’s X-6E manual (PDF) →

Is Freesky a good e-bike brand?

Reliability cannot be read off a spec sheet, so here is what can be checked. The X-6E’s electrical system holds a TÜV SÜD certificate to UL 2849 and CAN/UL 2849 (May 2025) and its 35Ah battery one to UL 2271 and CAN/UL 2271 (March 2025), both linked from Freesky’s page. Freesky sells through its own Canadian store and publishes a 24-month warranty on the motor, battery and controller; on a bike from Zeus it is backed by Freesky in full, and Zeus files the claim for you. Our Freesky brand profile →

Where are Freesky e-bikes made?

Freesky’s Swift Horse Ultra page does not say. Both UL certificates Freesky links for this model name the same certificate holder: GuangZhou Yansan Science & Technology Co., Ltd., in Guangzhou, China. Freesky’s manual says: “Warranty parts will be sent from our American warehouse if stock is available, or we will ship from China factory”.

Can I ride the Swift Horse Ultra in a Canadian winter?

Not by Freesky’s own limits. The safety instructions in its manual say this equipment is not intended to be used or stored below 0 °C (32 °F), and the battery is charged between 0 °C and 40 °C. Fat tires help on snow, but they do not change the battery’s temperature limits. Our winter e-bike guide →

What warranty comes with it?

Freesky’s Canadian terms: 24 months on the motor, battery and controller and 12 months on every other component, from your purchase date, for the original owner, backed by Freesky in full. Zeus files and follows your claim with Freesky. Your first month of Zeus Care is included; plans continue it for 1, 2, 3 or 5 years ($119, $229, $339 or $599), and Zeus Care is a service, not added parts coverage. Our warranty policy →

How long does delivery take?

By Freesky’s timing, in-stock bikes leave in 1–2 business days and reach Canadian addresses in 3–10 business days. Shipping is free to all 10 provinces; there is no delivery to the territories or PO boxes. Freesky says accessories may ship separately from China and typically take 7–14 days, so the free kit can arrive after the bike.

Is the Swift Horse Ultra good for hunting?

It has the hardware hunters ask about: 26 × 4″ fat tires, full suspension, a rear rack in the box and a 400 lb rating for rider and gear. It is an off-road machine, so check the rules for the land you hunt before you ride there. Our hunting e-bike guide →

Are there reviews of the Swift Horse Ultra?

The one review on this listing was written in August 2025, when this listing sold the earlier Swift Horse Pro. This page is our editorial take, built from Freesky’s published specs, its manual and its UL certificates. Call 1-866-938-7580 and we will tell you straight whether it suits how you ride.
